Hi! Welcome back to the Color Dare. I have missed participating for a few weeks unfortunately because I have been dealing with the death of my youngest brother. Today is his memorial service, so say a prayer if you think of me today. But we have some great inspiration from our design team for you!

Our colors this week are:

CranberryFlaxen
BlackWhiteKraft

This is an unusual color combo, so I'm really interested in seeing how creative you can be!

Now it's your turn! Create something using just these colors--if you don't have the exact colors, use the closest you have. Take a photo of it, post it to your blog and link it up with us here. Please include our link and challenge photo in your blog post and use a direct link to link up with us (not your blog in general.) Most importantly, have fun!

Challenge Rules

Welcome to the Color My Heart color dare! We're so glad to have you! Here's what you do: Create a project using the featured colors. You may use any products to participate, but we recommend that you use Close To My Heart products and colors. Your project can be pretty much anything as long as you made it yourself. Examples are: scrapbooking layouts, cards, 3D items, altered items, Base & Bling, Studio J layouts, etc. You may combine as many challenges as you want, but please make sure you use only and all of the colors in our challenge. If you don't have the exact colors, just use the closest you have. We ask that you not add neutrals to your project. Shades of white and/or black for sentiments and outlines will be allowed (unless otherwise specified).

Take a photo of your project, upload it to your blog or online gallery, and link your post up here. You must provide a link to your post, not just to your blog in general. Please include a link to our site and our challenge photo on your blog post. You have until Thursday @ 9PM central to link your work. Thanks so much, and have fun!
